Then from Kach's Link: The U.S. has one of the highest teen birthrates among developed countries, even with continued declines over the last two decades. Only two other developed countries had a teen birthrate that exceeded that of the U.S. – Bulgaria at 41.7 and Romania at 35.2. Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands and Switzerland had birthrates that were one-fifth of the most recent U.S. rate of 26.6.

I am very happy the birth rate for teenage women is headed south, but there is a long way to go to fix the ill that is out of wedlock pregnancies for teens.
